Désinstallé

Ce n’es pas la première fois que je joue à ce jeux. Cependant malgré les promesses des développeurs rien ne bouge - surtout au niveau des règles qui sont très restreintes et même pas absolues ce qui laisse place à beaucoup de manque de fairplay lors des régates.
D’autant plus que le gain de jetons est EXTRÊMEMENT rare empêchant de se servir des atouts - à noter que le pass VIP n’aide en rien la dessus non plus (il est bien sympathique de devoir payer 3 jetons au lieu de 5 pour tous les atouts mais encore faut il en avoir).
En bref c’est un jeu qui a beaucoup de potentiel mais dont les promesses de développement ne sont pas tenues créant un sévère manque de fair-play en plus de ne pas avoir de récompenses suffisantes dans les coffres.

Tout ceci est bien sûr écrit dans un respect constructif. Ainsi, chers développeurs ou responsables du jeu, voyez y la uniquement une occasion d’amélioration rapide et n’oubliez pas de me prévenir quand les points que j’ai cité seront corrigés ou améliorés.

An Absolute Joke of a "Simulation" - Avoid This Trash

Calling this game a "simulation" is a massive insult to the entire genre. It is an unmitigated, buggy disaster that shouldn't have ever left early access.
* **Server Performance is Pathetic:** I have a rock-solid, high-speed 70 Mbps connection, and this game *still* hitches, lags, and buffers the second things actually matter. You will lose progress, miss critical moments, and tear your hair out because the developers apparently host their servers on a potato.
* **Broken Game Logic:** The mechanics are completely fundamentally broken. It doesn't simulate reality; it simulates a chaotic fever dream of glitches, broken physics, and nonsensical behavior.
* **Non-Existent Customer Support:** If you encounter a game-breaking bug (which you will, every ten minutes), good luck getting help. The support team is a total ghost town. They completely ignore the community, pocket the money, and refuse to address the glaring issues with their product.
> **The Verdict:** Do not waste a single second or a single penny on this absolute dumpster fire of a game. Until the developers pull their heads out of the sand, fix their trash servers, and actually start communicating with the community, this is nothing more than an expensive, frustrating paperweight. **0/10.**

Good game, lots of cheats

I like this game a lot, it’s fun to play, however the blatant cheating that occurs due to people purposely sailing into you is so unbelievably frustrating. You can be catching someone downwind by sailing above them and they will just slew up into wind to cause you to take a penalty as windward boat. There should either be some way the developers can add to penalise those who blatantly take advantage of the rules, or a way to protest with it being peer reviewed at the end of the race for example. Developers!! Add a protest option, I would happily watch a 10-15 second clip of a protest and vote on it at the end in the interests of fair racing!

We appreciate your feedback and concerns about cheating in the game. I will definitely pass on your suggestion to the developers for further consideration. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Meh

The game is too buggy to be called a "simulation." Even with a solid 70 Mbps connection, it lags and buffers when it matters most. Between the bad game logic and the total lack of customer support, it’s a frustrating experience. Don't waste your time until they fix the servers and start responding to the community.

Accuracy

Lacks accuracy and stability in game. Buffers at critical moments during a game. Customer service is non existent and any feedback is not responded. Meh…MBPS running at 70 should be ample for a game like this!

Un nouveau mode planche à voile ou Wingfoil serait le bienvenue

Super jeu, il serait parfait avec un mode planche à voile ou Wingfoil ! Merci d’avance aux développeurs !

Merci pour votre retour ! Nous prenons votre suggestion en compte !

The closest spiritual successor to SailX

Still missing rules like proper course and a more tactical 2d view would be great. Also boats accelerate too fast. But still good enough to think about the fundamentals of wind shifts

Good game

It’s a widely played game, and good overall, but it lacks ai opponents.

Great game , poor rewards

I love this game , I’d give it 5 for playability,however the lack of green tokens awarded makes it 100% pay to win , to the extend it degrades my rating by two full stars .I’d recommend awarding one green token minimum per race , or make auto vmg standard . As for the blue tokens , after 300 races you may be able to afford to have a blue boat instead of red … kinda poor

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate your input on the rewards system. We have multiple examples of players winning events, and qualifying for the eSailing World Championship without using any green tokens :) For every race finished you are rewarded with either tokens; stickers or a mixture of both. The amount depends on the finishing position: 4 slots for 1st, 3 slots for 2nd, 2 slots for 3rd and 1 slot for 4 and over. We will be taking your review into account to see what can be re balanced :)

Could be good, but it sucks

The game physics are OK. Overall the game blows. It could be great if the devs fixed the obvious bugs.

1. First issue: The game has a terrible understanding of Racing Rules of Sailing. Downwind specifically. It allows players to just jibe into you and you get fouled. It does not understand overlap rules and does not understand windward/leeward. Need major fix.
Fix: First, fix the games understanding of the rules. Second, I recommend the game slow down BOTH players in the event of a collision. Not only is this more realistic, but it would stop incentivizing people to draw fouls the whole game. Game is essentially just who can out foul the next boat.

2. The game does not know where the starting line is. It’s about a quarter boatlength off. I have many videos of me being clear but the game calling me over if the devs want it.

3. The game does not understand the physics of being on “bad air”. If I’m going 5kts downwind on a laser, a boat that is 3 boat lengths to leeward of me is not affecting my breeze at all. Certainly not to the degree the game says (1 knot slower)

Glitchy and unusable

Fix your code. Glitchy to the point of being unusable now. You owe me may credits for garbage races lost due to unresponsive garbage software.

Horrible quality

Don’t buy nothing in this game. Its getting worse every day.

Response from developer

Hi thanks for your feedback! We are a bit surprised by your comment... We've just added settings to adjust your quality with an increase of FPS, upscaling and post-processing. Perhaps you could give us more details or contact our support team for help?

Glitches and server issues make this game super frustrating

It’s a fun game, but the regular server issues make this game incredibly frustrating and costly in terms of losing tokens when connection is lost mid-game.
Otherwise, it’s appealing and fun when it works, from a challenge and competition perspective.

Que les développeur me réponde svppp

Alors j’adore le jeux mais juste SVPPPM rajouter les opti régate je suis jeune j’en fait et j’aimerais qu’il y en est Rt aussi je trouve que c’est trop dure d’avoir des pont pour les aide de la nav

It's Jolly Good!

But maybe an optimist and it would get better.

Frustrating

You can’t pick the type of boat you want to race with !

Truly toxic and terrible

I was playing and a bunch of boats break the rules to win the game, it glitches and I was one starboard and a port boat hit me and I got the foul. Everyone always purposely hits you l if you are windward and the only way to win is to cheat or pay. It’s not fair. Vr offshore is way better. Don’t waist your time on this game it will only make you mad.

Eigentlich gutes Spiel

Leider nicht ganz perfekt. Ich segele Opti und finde, es ist sehr ähnlich wie auf einem echten Segelboot.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! We're trying to find the best balance between the game and the sport, improvements are on the way :)

Bad wobble

Why don’t you fix it. One moment I’m happily winning and suddenly I’m moved to another place
